Engine Replacement
As some of you know on my way home from Spyderfest my engine seized up. BRP had me towed but the dealer was closed so the tow truck dropped it off at a motel with me. I had to have it towed the next morning at a cost of $96. BRP only pays one tow. At the dealership they worked on it most of the day. Their findings the engine is seized at a cost of over $350. Then $660 for a U Haul to get it home. Today I got the complete verdict. The lower case is cracked and the clutch is destroyed. BRP says it doesn't have any 998 engines in stock. I thought the 998 is still being used in the RS and ST models? The dealer has to order all of the parts he will need to rebuild the engine. They figure they should have the order complete by Monday. A week for BRP to ship the parts and a week for assembly. What are the chances of BRP having all the parts? Doesn't look very promising for a summer of riding. Depression is already setting in bad. I'll keep everyone updated as I fing out.

DEAD ENGINE
VERY, VERY, Sorry to hear this Bad news.......I have a feeling that BRP is not building a stock of 998 engines or parts because ...imho....there isn't a big future for them in the coming BRP line-up.....Also imho, if it's a WARRANTY failure ...then BRP should cover ALL your costs....it was there PRODUCT that FAILED........Good Luck, ....Mike

Most manufacturers don't stock complete engines because they seldom need a complete engine. I've run into this on ATV's also and have had to build a motor from the parts bin. Hope they have the pieces and get you on the road soon. I have no idea if a good low miles engine would be available somewhere.

They should still have almost a Month left, for their 2016 model year production run... They should have a supply of pieces laying around somewhere.

Stock.....
slim to none that they will have all the parts you need. Everyone is different but we changed GSXR 750 engines when the line boring was wrong and pistons were hitting the heads by pulling them from a bike in stock. Repaced it when the new one came in. Sorry to hear this is not going well...

I think I will stay quiet on this subject.
Rogerb your engine will not be ready that quick. Just saying...
-
If you are under warranty, and they are paying let them fix it.
If not, there are a bunch of used engines on EBay for reasonable money.

Good luck with hope and hope you get her back soon. I agree about the 998 there should be some unless they are going away? Can't imagine that They still use them....
Live, Love, and Ride! God Bless!

Well if they don't the engine, they should give you a brand new ride. JMHO
